Nijo-jo Castle and the Illumination, plus Cherry blosome

I took the photo in front of Nijo-jo castle, which is the most famous castle in Kyoto. The castle is surrounded by a kind of rive to protect itself from enemies.

Here's the entrance. I didn't go inside this time. 


Because the illumination event is held from 29th of March with cherry blossom trees in blooming. The season is not just cherry blossom trees but you can enjoy illumination at night. Temples and shrines will be illuminated.

And I went back to my home along a business street. And somehow I found a cherry blossom.





The backpackers hostel in Kyoto is located in its historical district, Gion.
Good access by buses and trains. The center of Kyoto.
Please contact us, if you want to book our hostel.



Wow, it's in blooming!



Some of the type of cherry blossom trees are already in full blooming. This is one of them.

But, the blooming season hasn't come yet. Within 1 or 2 week it will come to Kyoto.
Enjoy the warm weather, beautiful trees and parties!
